This pub looks interesting from the outside. Has beer garden with standard choice of drinks available.

Nice pub with lots of atmosphere, plenty of little nooks to sit in and open fires throughout. Good variety of ales and very friendly staff.

For anybody who likes historic pubs this is a gem. The pub wraps around the bar with lots of ancient dark timbers and fireplaces. Been here many times. Jorvic insisted on a beer from Ainstey Ales, despite it being a Rudgate brewery pub. Proudly brewed in the York Wapentake. ( An area between the three ridings of Yorkshire, North, West and East...no South. Something to do with Viking lands.) A beer patio to the side gets packed in summer. Popular for pub grub.Parking: Bob Hope and No Hope.Wheelchair accessibility: Not easy. Old pub with old festures.

Popped in for a pint. Lovey quaint pub. Dark beams in the ceiling and great service. We didn’t eat but the food that was coming out looked great. The pub was warm, toilets clean, and numerous rooms to choose from to sit in. Come summer there’s out door seating which will be great.

We popped in to the Red Lion to eat, very friendly place. I had the steak pie, my husband had scampi well worth it. If you find yourself in York it's well worth a visit.
